Step out of the shadows and discover a new magical world crackling with power… The Hexton Chronicles: The Trouble with Magic, the first in a dark new fantasy series from highly-acclaimed author Amy Wilson.

When Fray’s hidden magic is accidentally revealed, he flees to Hexton for protection – a magical town of Spellers from which his family was exiled years ago after an unspeakable betrayal, one which has fractured the very foundations of Hexton’s magic. With no one to trust and nowhere to turn, Fray must decide what he wants for himself as he comes up against people who see his very name as a curse and others who believe he might have the solution they’ve been searching for.

Amy Wilson has crafted an immersive world that will linger with readers long after the final page—perfect for fans of Kiran Milwood Hargrave and Anna James.

At its heart lies an unsettling reminder: the seeds of magic within us all don't always grow into something good…
